                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome NOBLISH ISLAND.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the 
fights have I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  Bein' on top is 
great while it lasts, BEWARE.  But how many friends do you have now?  Up 'n down.  Up 
'n down.  Rankings always change.  Up 'n down.  I think I'm gonna be...  Well, 
TROUBLEMAKERS' 1st moved them up to 3-2-0 place.  SKYLINE's walking tall now that 
they went 5-0-0 their first time out.  But we know what awaits them soon...  What's 
with ATAVISTA?  She actually beat NOBLISH ISLAND's DANGEROUS CRIMINAL, and walked 
away with 14 more points from the fight.  I'm sure NOBLISH ISLAND is excited about 
ATAVISTA, the new Duelmaster from TROUBLEMAKERS.  (remember?)  But when you've seen 
as many as I have...  Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on?  I 
hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.   
     No matter the time or place, men will always duel.   
     Warriors of NOBLISH ISLAND unite.  You have only your games to lose!  Is it my 
imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day?  To die so young, so 
gloriously!   
     Who knows what the future holds for a warrior.  More fights, there's no doubt.  
Are you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it?  Actually, I guess I'm 
writing it before you read it.  Oh, well.  I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- 
Olaf Modeen

The Troublemakesrs had a...winning week?  That isn't funny, Editor.  No jokes, dammit!  
It's bad enough that these people can't hold the right end of a... Wait!  You all saw 
it?  They had a winning week!  I can't... HOW?  The Troublemakers had a winning 
week!!!  YEEEAHGgghatem *spasm, gurgle, thud, twitch* -- Whiting, mgr Troublemakers

Good day, fellow survivors.  We're inviting everybody to Guldarn's Inn and Outhouse 
for free drinks at sunset (walk to the South end of the wharf, turn inland, and follow 

the smell).  Those coins that rolled out of Whiting's pockets when he collapsed turned 
out to have some real gold in them, and we'd like to trade our (and his) hospitality 
in exchange for whatever advice you have on how we can keep whatever this is going.

Battlehip Kate read Explorer's and Assur's word in the last newsletter to us and 
thinks we could find out what the "C.I.C." stands for, what "ADM" stands for, whether 
Barbela Bloodstone is defective and should just be replaced.  Also, what's to do in 
the Chat site does not accept our password and will not send us a security code when 
we make a new one?  It's lonely when the only time we can meet you all is when we beat 
the not out of each other.  Bottom's Up. -- The Troublemakers (except Barbela, she's 
too busy singing and flirting to join in writing this)

     CIC on the way. -- RSI
